Bccthis Unlocks Subtext in Email

There’s a great Dilbert cartoon where Tina (the tech writer) is upset with Dilbert for sending a “rather brusque” email and would like an apology. Dilbert says he’s sorry she doesn’t understand what brevity looks like – and the ensuing discussion goes downhill from there. That’s the thing with digital communication. We think people ‘hear’ our emotions when we write emails but the reality is there’s about a 50/50 chance they’ll get it wrong. Bccthis enables the shared wink, the affirmative smile, the expression of concern that flat digital communication does not provide. Bccthis unlocks the subtext we can easily get across in face-to-face communication, but which so often gets lost in digital communication. Our award-winning plug-in for Outlook, Gmail and BlackBerry is helping thousands of people send better emails by giving you the power and control to annotate messages for selected recipients of an email. With this new release, we’ve fixed a few things here and there and updated a few features that allow you to make use of Bccthis faster in everyday communication. Oh, and in case you needed any more incentive to send better emails, we’re giving away $100 every week to help spread the word!

Along with our newest release of Bccthis comes the chance for you to win a $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com every week – just for inviting a friend! Here’s how it works: if you don’t have Bccthis installed yet, simply download the latest version of Bccthis for Outlook from our site (it’s FREE) and from the Bccthis menu in Outlook select invite friends. It’s quick and easy and every friend you invite is another chance to win! Enter as often as you like and every invite counts as a separate entry – but don’t be greedy, you can only win once! (Note: Feel free to send all gifts of gratitude to my attention)
